  WordPress.com sites are not hosted on GoDaddy. They are hosted with WordPress.com. Are you wanting to purchase a domain and self host?

  Here is some information about making that switch

  No I have a blog through wordpress and a website with GoDaddy. I just changed my website around and in doing so, I lost my blog – which had been connected before to my website. So, you clicked my website banner that said blog and it took you to my wordpress page. I want to do that again, please!

  Then you just change the link in your Godaddy website to be the link to your blog.

  That would seem the easy thing, right? Except, if you go to add a blog to your website, it automatically pops up a popular blog and then you go into settings and you can change the blog URL – well GoDaddy doesn’t accept WordPress URL’s, so then what?

  I think what @raincoster meant was to go to the menu and add your link to the menu item for your blog. You’d basically be ignoring the blog on the GoDaddy WP installation and linking to the WordPress.com one.

  It would help me better explain if I had the link to your GoDaddy site.

  Thanks, I realized what @raincoster meant, and made the change. Thanks again to you both for the help!
